Bryant Carter, 64, sat in wheelchair during his arraignment in Quincy District Court as Judge Diane Moriarty ordered him held on $75,000 cash bail.

Assistant District Attorney Sarah Lelle said that around 200 images had been turned over to forensic investigators. The images included ages of boys and girls under the age of 18, some of them fully nude, Lelle added.

Carter faces two counts of possession of child pornography. He was arrested Wednesday morning at his Faxon Road home, Quincy Police Capt. John Dougan said.

Carter was fired Friday by the housing authority’s executive director, a day after Quincy police detectives seized Carter’s computer.

Carter has been a member of the Quincy Parks and Recreation Board for the past 30 years and most recently served as the board's secretary.

Christopher Walker, a spokesman for Mayor Thomas Koch said Carter was immediately removed from the board today following his arrest.

The housing authority’s executive director, James Lydon, said a company that monitors the agency’s computers called him last week with concerns about Carter's computer.

"They voiced to me some suspicions they had," Lydon said Monday, adding that the company’s concerns "in no way relates to the finances of Quincy Housing Authority."

The company had also alerted a state and federal agency of its findings, Lydon said.

Lydon said he immediately placed Carter on paid administrative leave and demanded that he surrender all his keys and passes to housing authority offices. Lydon also contacted Mayor Koch, who then called Quincy police.

Dougan said the arrest was the result of collaboration between Quincy police, the Quincy Housing Authority and the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office.

Carter's arrest comes as the Quincy Housing Authority faces increasing scrutiny by the State Department of Housing and Community Development for its poor maintenance of apartments and failure to correct health and safety violations.
